LAMP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 226,211, dated April 6, 1880. Application filed August 18, 1879.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J OSEPH TRENT, of New York city, in the county and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil-Founts for Lamps, which improvements are fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawing, which is a vertical central section of my improved oil-fount.

My invention consists in the manner of con necting a burner-fount with a supply-ibunt, which is raised above it, which I do by means of a supply-pipe running from the bottom of the one to the bottom of the other, to supply the burner-fount with oil, and an air-tube connecting the top of the one to the top of the other, said air-tube reaching to a point within the burner-fount to where the oil is desired to rise. I also provide a valve to close the end of the supply-pipe within the supply-fount by running a tube from the top of the fount down within the fount to near the top of the supplypipe and run the valve-spindle through this tube and out through the top of the fount, with a screw thread and nut on its outer end, so that by turning the nut one way the valve will be forced against and close the top of the supply-pipe, and by turning it the other way the supply-pipe is opened. The valve may be turned up against the end of the tube surrounding the galve-stem to more effectually hermetically seal the top of the supply-fount. I also make the front of the supply-fount a reflector, and I provide legs, so that it can stand upon atable and be used as an ordinary lamp, or so construct it that it may be hung against the wall.

The object of my invention is so to construct and connect a supply-fount with a burnerfount for oil-lamps that the supply-fount may be elevated above the burner'fount and keep it supplied without overflowing it; also, to make the front of the supply-fount a reflector, and to provide legs, so that it will stand upon a table.

A is the burner-fount. B is the supplyfount. G is the supply-pipe connecting the two founts. D is the air-pipe. E is the point where the air-pipe enters the supply-fount; and F is the point where it stops within the burner-fount. G is a stop-cock in ,the supplypipe. H is the'tubethrough which the valvestem I runs. J is the Valve. N N are the legs. 0 is the reflector. K is a plug-orifice for convenience of filling.

The top of the burner-fount is perforated to admit air for safety and to keep the air within from getting heated.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim'as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The fount B, having the reflector O, plugorifice K, tube H, spindle I, and valve J, in combination with the tubes (J and D, stop-cock G, and fount A, all arranged substantially as and. for the purpose set forth.

2. The fount B, provided with the reflector O, pipes O and D, and legs N, pivoted to its back, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
